      I haven’t defended this person. I’m not sure I’ve heard any of her music, even her age (born this millenia!) came as a surprise.

      What I have done is attempt to politely explain a different perspective that I see that perhaps you didn’t. Comments by yourself on the other hand are diametrically opposed to open thought, respectful argumentation, and basic decency.

      You know well the aphorism about everyone else being the asshole, I’m sure.

            Unfortunately when a child is raised in environment where they never fail, they can develop into adults that perceive themselves as never wrong. This sometimes deludes these individuals into talking only with condescension to those around them, as if they are on a literal high horse where engaging a two way conversation is beneath them.

            Text conversations online aren’t really a good way to get through to them so knowing when to let go is key. Sad though, in a non specific way, for the people in their lives that must ask ‘is so and so invited’ before accepting an invitation.
